Installed RC2 last night including updating the PanelDue firmware using M997 S4, which is nice. Tuned heaters this morning using new M303. Everything working as expected.

Thanks for the hard work. Happy New Year.

@Phaedrux I had the thought of using F360 for fully integrating CAM and Addative but haven’t dug into using it for slicing for the TC. Stupid work is always getting in the way of my hobbies. That would be the ultimate goal with the TC though. Print the model change tools and machine... Think I’ll use some of the 100sqft of garolite the power company left for me at work to make some sacrificial beds so I don’t machine some nice grooves into my print bed as I start this journey.

This is awesome. I’m working my way to this slowly with my toolchanger. So I understand correctly, you used the same coordinates for the CAM operation as where the part was printed?

Did you just rely on the printed part staying adhered to the build plate? Or did you secure it in some fashion?

@Phaedrux i apologize for not being clear. In his start g-code he posted above he calls G28. My understanding was when he started the print the crash occurred. I had not seen his homing files. What I should’ve said was make sure he’s using G30 on the homez.g macro.

@pandaym it appears you are calling G28 to home all. This will cause Z to crash because in RRF 3 it cannot be defined as an endstop and a probe. You need to call G28 XY and then After your move to probing location call G30 to use probe for Z homing.

Try calling G30 with the bed lowered way down and see if the probe deploys and can be triggered.

@chichirod I don’t know what effect it would have but I dont see a M669 defining the kinematic type of printer in your config.g

@chichirod the ^ should be at the beginning ^zprobe.in

Have you tried deploying and retracting probe with M401 and M402?

I’m no expert on the BL Touch. Had one for about 2 days and tossed it in a return envelope. But I did just finish upgrading to 3.1.1 so I’ll try to help.

Change the M574 Z1 S2 to M574 Z0 ; no z endstop
You are attempting to use the probe as the endstop correct? So you will need to call the probe with a G30 command to probe the bed and set the position. G29 will also call the probe for leveling.

M558 P9 C"zprobe.in+zprobe.mod" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds

Not sure what the +zprobe.mod is for? From what i read that’s for maestro...try removing that.

Also as mentioned the M558 command I dont think should be in your deployprobe.g it should be an M280 command.

I felt it was worth the risk. As with anything advancement often involves growing pains. I do believe that RRF3 is now much more configurable and capable. Make sure you understand the changes and how they relate to your system before you start. It is not an update that you just install and expect to work.

I went slow I didnt dive right in. I took my working 2.05 config and macros for toolchanger and copied it and then over a couple weekends worked on updating it to 3.1.1. I read through all the release notes, forum posts, and the RRF3 guide. I went through each line and updated and added and clearly (to me) commented what was needed / changed as I went. Once i was confident in the new config I went through the upgrade process 2.05->3.0->3.1.1. All in all it went really smooth. Only small issue for me was the changes to z probe / endstop. In that case I had 2 possible config setups and I tested each one and with a little bit of tinkering I figured it out quickly.

Understood. I’m looking for the GUI buttons that disable the macros being run every time I click on the tools to turn the heaters on. Without them and trying to preheat multiple tools it selects the tool tries to purge selects the next tool and so on.

Any update to adding the disable run macros buttons back into DWC2? Or another way to disable running these macros when tool is selected to preheat?
